"He cannot waste a single minute": Yermak tells how preparations for Zelensky's conversation with Trump are going

The conversation between President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky and US President Donald Trump will take place soon. Consultations are ongoing.

This was stated on January 22 by the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak during the discussion panel "Formula for Peace for Ukraine" at the World Economic Forum in Davos. He emphasized the importance of the meeting between the two heads of state.

"We continue consultations. I really hope that the conversation between Presidents Zelensky and Trump will take place soon. This is very important," the Presidential Administration chief emphasized.

According to Yermak, Ukraine "cannot lose a single minute" as the war continues. Kyiv wants to familiarize the new US administration with the situation at the front and Ukraine's strategy of peace and victory as soon as possible.

He praised Trump's willingness to end the war, noting that the Ukrainian government is ready to cooperate fruitfully with the US administration.

At the same time, Yermak emphasized that Ukraine will never agree to the language of ultimatums used by Russia. According to him, we do not demand anything more than what is enshrined in the resolutions of international law, and this is, accordingly, enshrined in the Peace Formula and Zelensky's Victory Plan.

The head of the Presidential Office also emphasized that Zelensky "will never agree to territorial compromises" or to solutions that look like Minsk-3 or Minsk-4, stressing that these were bad documents with many questions.

Yermak also touched upon the issue of nuclear weapons. He emphasized that "if Ukraine had nuclear weapons, this war would never have happened."

According to him, if this war does not end in a just peace, everyone in the world will realize that only nuclear weapons work as a guarantee of security, especially when it comes to the aggression of a nuclear state against a non-nuclear one. At the same time, he emphasized the political responsibility of the signatories of the still valid Budapest Memorandum, which did not prevent the war.

As reported by OBOZ.UA, Zelensky named the conditions under which he would start a dialogue with Russia. He said that Russian troops should return to the line of full-scale invasion. According to the head of state, this would be a fair opportunity to start negotiations on ending the war.
